Hello Eduardo, in the 4-3-3 formation the head coach deployed in the first match, you can play as a single pivot midfielder, a number 8, or even a left-back. In your personal view, which position do you think you can contribute the most to the team?

First, I think we have plenty of excellent left-backs in the squad, so we can rule out the left-back option (laughs). As for midfield positions, fortunately I can now play both as a single pivot and as a number 8, and the coach knows this well. I believe I can contribute to the team whether playing as an 8, central midfielder, or 6. As for my personal preference, I think you probably already know (laughs).

Hello Eduardo, what do you still lack to secure a starting spot at Real Madrid and truly become an indispensable player for the French national team?

In short, I think consistency is what matters most right now. I've had very good performances in the past, and I will continue to perform well in the future, but I believe what I need most at this moment is sustained consistency.That's a very good question. I think it comes down to staying focused on the pitch and minimizing mistakes. I believe by doing these things well, I can achieve that consistency and play in more matches.

Hello Eduardo, how difficult was it to miss the World Cup? The night before that, you had just reached 30 caps for France. If I were to say that compared to what people expected and what you should be able to show, we feel somewhat disappointed with your performances, would you agree with that assessment?

Yes, I think you're right. Missing the World Cup really did affect me and made me very sad, because I believe any player in modern football dreams of participating in such a top tournament. However, everything has moved very quickly in my life. This type of failure and disappointment is actually unusual in my previous career; it's a new experience, you could say. But what matters most is how to get back up and return. What's your second question?

Do people feel you still have more to show, and that your current performances are somewhat disappointing?

As I just said, I think it's natural that you feel that way, because all the praise and opportunities came very quickly from when I started my career. But as they say, Rome wasn't built in a day. So today I still have plenty of time, and we will see what happens in the future.

Hello Eduardo, you've worked with Ousmane Dembélé for a long time in the national team. What do you think he's like as a leader? How has he developed and evolved in that role over the past few years?

I think Ousmane is a "technical leader." He's a leader who speaks through his skills on the pitch. He's not someone who particularly likes to speak up or make a lot of noise in the dressing room, but he pushes and inspires all of us tremendously on the field. As for his development and evolution... Ousmane and I have known each other for a very long time because he also came through Rennes academy. So I'm not surprised by his changes and progress, and today I'm really happy for him.

Hello Eduardo, although Mbappé isn't here right now, he has returned to Madrid. However, I still want to ask a question about him: under Zinedine Zidane, Mbappé was adapted to play as a left winger. Do you think he's ready to play in that position and perform the necessary defensive work and tracking runs? Does he have the motivation to return to that position?

Yes, I think Kylian has played on the left wing many times before. Like you, you saw at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar that he showed a very high level of competitiveness in that position.Uh, this microphone is bothering me (laughs)! He played at an extremely high level in that position before, so I know he will also play very well there under the coach. As for whether he's motivated, yes; can he do the defensive work and tracking runs? Yes, I won't rule that out either. That's it.

Hello Eduardo, you just spoke about your qualities as a player, mentioning that your career hasn't always been smooth, with both high expectations and setbacks. There's another player in the French national team who went through a similar journey—Rabiot. He rose early at PSG, but things weren't easy for him, whether in terms of football skills or dealing with high expectations from outside and managing his career. Do you see him as a role model?

I think today Rabiot is a role model for everyone. He knows very well how to manage and plan his career. Today, he's an extremely consistent and reliable player for the French national team, so he's certainly a role model. He has a large number of caps for the national team, and he plays an important role both on the pitch as a technical leader and off the field. So, as I said, Rome wasn't built in a day. He's been through ups and downs and learned patience. Look at what he's achieved today; he's happy in the national team and playing very well.

Hello Eduardo, Courtois was not called up to the Belgian national team this time. Had you discussed his absence with him privately beforehand? Do you feel relieved and happy not to face the goalkeeper considered one of the best in the world?

To be honest, I'm very happy (the entire press room laughed)! We spoke with him before the national team gathering. But to answer your question simply: yes, I'm really happy he's not here this time!
